A state has the right to propose an interest cap to protect vulnerable citizens from usury. However, interest rates are clearly stated in contracts, and the simplest way to avoid them is to spend only what you can afford without going into debt.

The US can impose levies on China, Mexico, Canada and just about anyone else... but the EU can't do it on US corporations???

Impose levies on wine, parmesan and high fashion and he's getting free lobbyists in the EU. One side get's to pay more for iPhones, the other side has to make do with chilean champagne and grated cheddar

The law is mainly aimed at the dozens of platforms that stream (near) live football matches. We're talking about Italy, remember

I've been down worse roads* on a Series 1 and it's still tip-top condition. Maybe I'm just a Gen-Xer who can map read and drive (and turn back in a very narrow space, when necessary)??

* yes: sand, mud, snow and rear wheel drive, but I'm not bragging :-P

I find it absurd that with all this advanced technologies we're still struggling with UTF! :-/

What's an âOEiPhoneâOE?

"keep investors happy"... when instead it should be all about keeping customers happy and following through with your mission. But alas we're all slaves of Wall Street :-(

One should, of course, read the whole paper and, most importantly, understand it. Unfortunately I don't have the time or the presence of mind.
